Tablo Dual Over-the-Air DVR Streamer

While the Tablo Dual is easy to set up and offers some great recording features, the Tablo app is a bit clumsy and missing some basic controls. For one, you can’t directly access the guide or a menu while you’re watching a show, which means I had to back out of playback mode to get to the guide. A direct-access button would be a nice addition. The bigger problem is that the guide can’t share the screen with (or overlay on top of) what you’re currently watching, which means I had no way to keep an eye on the show I was watching while perusing the Tablo TV Guide. Luckily, the current program continues to fill the temporary cache so I was able to go back to where I left off when I exited the guide. ”
